Frequently Asked Questions

It is typically used when jetting cannot fully clear the blockage, especially with tree roots, hardened scale or debris bonded to the pipe wall. If blockages keep returning, jetting alone is usually not enough.

Robotic cutting removes the roots currently inside the pipe, restoring flow.
If the roots have entered through cracked or damaged pipework, we often recommend pipe relining afterwards to permanently seal the entry point and prevent future root intrusion.

Our robotic cutting equipment can remove:

  • Concrete and slurry left by builders
  • Tree roots
  • Excess pipe relining resin
  • Scale and mineral build-up
  • Intruding junctions
  • Broken PVC pipe protrusions
  • Foreign objects
  • Debris causing recurring blockages

Yes. This is one of the most common reasons we use robotic cutting.

After a continuous pipe relining installation, our robotic cutter precisely reinstates each junction connection, reopening every branch line while maintaining the integrity of the newly installed liner.

In most cases, yes. The success of robotic concrete removal depends on several factors, including the density of the concrete, its location within the pipe, its compressive strength (MPA), how long it has been in the drain, and the size and condition of the pipe.

Because of these variables, we’re unable to provide a fixed-price quote for concrete cutting works. This type of work is typically completed on a Schedule of Rates basis.

Where possible, we recommend attempting robotic cutting before resorting to excavation or cutting up concrete floors. If the concrete is breaking down as expected, we can continue with the removal. If not, we’ll stop, discuss our findings with you, and recommend the most suitable repair options before proceeding.

NO!

We recommend arranging a CCTV drain inspection before using any chemical or acid-based drain treatments.

Many off-the-shelf products are not designed to break down hardened concrete, builder’s slurry or other construction debris, so they’re often ineffective for the types of obstructions that require robotic cutting, they can however damage the seals and precision moving components within our robotic cutting equipment. If chemical treatments have been used, it may prevent us from safely carrying out robotic cutting until the pipe has been thoroughly flushed and assessed.

A CCTV inspection allows us to accurately identify the obstruction and recommend the safest and most effective solution from the outset.

Absolutely.

We regularly use robotic cutting in:

  • Hospitals
  • Shopping centres
  • Apartment complexes
  • Industrial facilities
  • Schools
  • Councils
  • Aged care facilities
  • Commercial office buildings
